Whatis meant by (i) peptide linkage (ii) biocatalyst ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Peptide LINKAGE: Peptide linkageis an amide formed between - COOHgroup and `-NH_(2)` group . Forexample, whencarboxyl group of glycine combines , withalanine, we get a dipeptide , glycylalanime .

(ii) Biocatalysts : Biocatalysts or enzymeare complex nitrogenous organiccompounds . Theycatalyseone particularreaction.
`C_(2)H_(5)OH + O_(2) overset("Mycoderma acetic")to CH_(3)COOH+ H_(2)O`
`C_(12)H_(22)O_(11) + H_(2)O overset("Invertase")to underset("Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) + underset("FRUCTOSE ")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))`
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)overset("Zymase")to2C_(2)H_(5)OH + CO_(2)`
